Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease which primarily presents with the core symptoms of rigidity, postural instability, tremor, and bradykinesia. Non-adherence to prescribed PD treatments can have significant ramifications, such as poor symptom control and greater...
